In a statement, Northumbria Police said: "At about 8.27pm yesterday (20 June) police attended a property in Medburn, Ponteland, where sadly a 32-year-old woman was found deceased.

"There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. A report will now be prepared for the coroner."

Gradon has previously spoken about her struggle with depression and anxiety.

In August 2016, she responding to a question on Twitter about whether she would recommend applying for Love Island, saying: "Not if you suffer from anxiety or depression. It's a VERY testing environment."

She added: "I urge everyone to be kind to every person they meet and speak with on social media and in person... you really don't know the battles they go through every single day."

Gradon, who had more than 400,000 followers on Instagram, took part in a talk earlier this year about the impact of social media on children. Psychologist Emma Kenny, who took part in the same event, described her as an "utterly lovely woman".
